Purpose : This research was designed to provide basic data for advanced pre-hospital airway management by comparing the ease of intubation, the success rate and the time for intubation performed with Macintosh Laryngoscope, Gum Elastic Bougie and Pentax AirWay Scope on the floor and table. Methods : Intubation was performed 30 times in total, including 5 times for each of intubation using Macintosh Laryngoscope, Gum Elastic Bougie and Pentax Airway Scope on the table and floor, only on subjects who passed the practice test of the national exam for paramedics. Data were collected by measuring the ease of intubation, the success rate and the time for intubation, and then analyzed by descriptive analysis, paired t-test, ANOVA using SPSS 18.0. Results : 1. There was a significant difference in the ease of intubation according to intubation devices. 2. There was a significant difference in the ease of intubation according to table height for intubation. 3. There was a significant difference in the success rate according to intubation devices. 4. There was no significant difference in the success rate according to table height for intubation. 5. There was a significant difference in the intubation time according to intubation devices. 6. There was a partially significant difference in the intubation time according to table height for intubation. Conclusion : Sufficient training not only with Macintosh Laryngoscope but also with Gum Elastic Bougie and Pentax Airway Scope could improve the survival rate by intubation in patients with difficult airway.

Wild birds rescued for various reasons are injured and admitted to a wild animal rescue center. With the case of collision with cars, buildings and wires on a power pole, most wild birds are severely traumatized or get fractured, which need intensive veterinary treatment. In general, inhalation anesthesia to wild birds is the best choice for the medical and surgical procedure, and intubation is recommended for the stable anesthesia. Although the certain size of an endotracheal tube can be chosen depending on the size and morphology of the bird, there are a few standardized guidelines. Therefore, the optimal endotracheal size of the rescued 162 individual birds of 41 species for four years from March 2014 to December 2017 was investigated and sorted empirically, suggesting possibly the appropriate endotracheal sizes for diverse avian species. It may provide practical information data for wildlife veterinarians to select the size of an endotracheal tube according to the size of the domestic wild bird species, especially during surgery in the emergency cases.

Tracheal neurilemoma, an extremely rare benign tracheal tumor that there has been only one case reported in 1996 throughout the nation, is a slowly progressing disease that obliterates the upper airway, delays diagnosis for its symptom similarity to asthma, and makes intubation for operation difficult. Bronchoscopic is therefore needed for diagnosis. There are two options for the treatment methods, a bronchoscopic resection or open surgical resection; however if intubation is difficult, then the bronchoscopic resection is used first to keep the airway open for the surgical resection. In this case, the severe tracheal stenosis impeding intubation made the surgical resection of the primary tracheal neurilemoma with extratracheal mass impossible; therefore, bronchoscopic laser resection was applied first to optain the airway passage for endotracheal intubation, followed by a successful open surgical resection.

한 41세 남자 환자가 충수돌기염 절제술을 받기 위하여 전신마취를 받았다. 삽관을 위해 후두경으로 보자, 난해한 기도삽관이 예상되어 유도자를 사용하였다. 기도삽관 중 돌출된 유도자가 기도를 손상시켰으며, 이에 의해 목에서부터 상부종격동까지의 피하기종과 목의 염증성 종창이 생겼다. 환자는 호흡곤란과 관련된 증상을 보이지 않아 호흡기의 손상을 의심하기 어려웠고, 주 증상이었던 염증성 종창에 초점을 두게 되어 진단에 차질을 빚었으나, 환자는 대증치료로 회복하였다. 유도자를 사용하여 기관내 삽관을 하는 경우 유도자의 위치를 재점검하여 유도자에 의한 기도 손상을 유발하지 않도록 유념해야 할 것이다.

전신마취시 후두경의 사용과 기관내삽관이 혈압 및 뇌압을 상승시킬 수 있음은 잘 알려져 있으며 이는 이미 뇌압이 상승되어 있는 환자에게는 매우 위험할 수 있다. 따라서 저자들은 현재 통상 시행되고 있는 전신마취 유도방법인 thiopental, S.C.C., intubation 과정이 어느 정도의 뇌압상승을 유발시키는지를 알아보기 위하여, 뇌압측정장치가 되어있는 개두술 환자 13명에게 위와 같은 마취유도시 뇌압 및 동맥압의 변화를 측정하여 보았던바 뇌압은 $7.1{\pm}7.23mmHg$, 동맥압은 $43.5{\pm}25.46nmHg$, 뇌관류압은 $33.3{\pm}27.53mmHg$ 상승되었다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 보아, 이미 뇌압이 상승되어 있는 환자의 마취유도 시에는 필히 마취유도에 따른 뇌압상승을 예방할 수 있는 처치를 강구해야만 할 것으로 사료된다.

Tracheal invasion is an uncommon complication of thyroid cancer, but it can cause respiratory failure. A rigid bronchoscope may be used to help relieve airway obstruction, but general anesthesia is usually required. Tracheal balloon dilatation and stent insertion can be performed without general anesthesia, but complete airway obstruction during balloon inflation may be dangerous in some patients. Additionally, placement of the stent adjacent to the vocal cords can be technically challenging. An 86-year-old female patient with tracheal invasion resulting from thyroid cancer was admitted to our hospital because of worsening dyspnea. Due to the patient's refusal of general anesthesia and the interventional radiologist's difficulty in completing endotracheal stenting, we performed endotracheal tube balloon dilatation and argon plasma coagulation. We have successfully treated tracheal obstruction in the patient with thyroid cancer by using endotracheal tube balloon inflation and a flexible bronchoscope without general anesthesia or airway obstruction during balloon inflation.

Damage to the endotracheal tube (ETT) during oral and maxillofacial surgeries is a rare but serious intraoperative complication. Herein, we present a case of a partially damaged ETT that was repaired using Dermabond surgical adhesive (Ethicon, Sommerville, NJ, USA) during a Lefort osteotomy. Dermabond surgical adhesive can be a simple and viable tool to repair partially transected ETTs where ETT exchange carries a high risk of airway loss. Our case adds to one of the several techniques for managing damaged ETT in an intraoperative setting.

Mask ventilation, the first step in airway management, is a rescue technique when endotracheal intubation fails. Therefore, ordinary airway management for the induction of general anesthesia cannot be conducted in the situation of difficult mask ventilation (DMV). Here, we report a case of awake intubation in a patient with a huge orocutaneous fistula. A 58-year-old woman was scheduled to undergo a wide excision, reconstruction with a reconstruction plate, and supraomohyoid neck dissection on the left side and an anterolateral thigh flap due to a huge orocutaneous fistula that occurred after a previous mandibulectomy and flap surgery. During induction, DMV was predicted, and we planned an awake intubation. The patient was sedated with dexmedetomidine and remifentanil. She was intubated with a nasotracheal tube using a video laryngoscope, and spontaneous ventilation was maintained. This case demonstrates that awake intubation using a video laryngoscope can be as good as a fiberoptic scope.
